Beauty Tuesday: Clinique’s new nail line

Things we really dig about Clinique’s new limited-edition nail polishes: the colors, the futuristic bottles and the quick-drying lacquer that even the total opposite of an ambidextrous amateur can apply with moderate success. Don “Pinkini” or “Summer in the City” for girly-girl flair, or try something edgier like “Splish Splash” — a primary color blue.

The “Summer in the City” polish evokes just that against the backdrop of a Bebe skirt circa 2008.

Clinique refers to the new line as “A Different Nail Enamel for Sensitive Skins,” because unlike other polishes, you won’t get “periorbital dermatitis” if you shove you shove your fingers into your eyes post manicure. We’re not really sure how many are spared because of this new periorbital dematitis-proof polish, but we suppose it’s nice to have one less thing to worry about. Happy painting! www.clinique.com
